Its a place where people can go and post links to comments on reddit that get upvotes or are supported by reddit that they feel are offensive. In some cases they just insult people who make generic comments that they feel legitimize their hatred to what Reddit is/has become. In some cases they're legitimate as a comment with 500 upvotes that just a giant racist strawman argument is just silly. Other times its just a circlejerk of 'I can't believe one of the millions of unique reddit users said this and people agree with them, I am so much better then that....tehehe I am smug'

Either way its a sub-reddit and I have nothing really against it. I avoid it just the same way I avoid r/spacedicks or r/jailbait. I remember the large number of people who post here and realize that we're going to have people from all walks of life and all differing opinions. So i just subscribe to the sub-reddits I like and remove the ones I don't.

Any site with user generated content will have stuff thats offensive. Just like anywhere with free speech.

There will be people who come to the site, get offended and leave. However there are ways to use Reddit. Heck some people just click the links and leave and would be none the wiser to anything that could be racist towards them.

Reddit is a beautiful, wonderful and helpful place, its also a horrible, racist, sexist and bigoted place. Much the same way the world is. Reddit allows you to filter it out and use it in way that makes it enjoyable.

To me, if i spent my life worrying what other people thought of the things i enjoy, I would have never played D&D, I would have never played Wow, I would never have dressed up on Halloween.

People are mean and idiots, However I don't care its their issue. I make reddit my own because thats what it allows you to do. My Reddit looks nothing like the unfiltered page if I am not logged on. I have thick skin and others do to.

It's actually not that easy to filter away the bad bits. Most of the submissions on /r/SRS come from main subreddits.

I agree that everyone should try to make their internet experience their own and shape it to best suit their interests. And hey, that's exactly what SRS is. It's what thousands of people on this site want, myself included.

Did you read what I said? It's not about being offended. I have incredibly thick skin due to experiencing actual racism in the real world; the kind that involves physical assault and constant harassment.

A bunch of angry nerds on Reddit can't compare to what I've gone through in real life, but that doesn't magically make Reddit a better place to me and anyone else who isn't a white man.

I'm glad you're lucky enough to think that racism and sexism goes away if you just ignore it and run away from it.

Not everyone is so lucky. And it doesn't magically change just how prevalent racial and sexual hostility is on Reddit (even on the smaller subreddits the "real" Redditors run away to).

I'm glad you're not offended. I'm not offended either. So why are you offended by other people being offended?

By the way, comparing structural racism and sexism to playing WoW or tabletop games is not something that makes you look credible in this conversation.

I am not, I stated I avoid r/shitredditsays, just like avoid other subreddits I don't like because that my opinion on the sub reddit. I am not offended it exists, just in the same way I am not offended that r/spacedicks exists or some of the other weirder sub reddits.

I place them all in the same catagory -> places I don't go and posts I don't care about.

I'm glad you're lucky enough to think that racism and sexism goes away if you just ignore it and run away from it.

Wow, thats what you took from what I typed.

Stoping sexism and racism is not going to happen on reddit. Having a sub-reddit devoted to down voting and cataloging, things that people who come to this site would be hurt seems to be futile, its got its heart in the right place, but it seems to be a solution to a symptom and not the underlying problem of ignorance that fuels racism and sexism etc.

I am sorry if you dislike my view of the sub reddit, but it is what it is. I am not running from anything, I make a conscious effort to make sure that people are not ignorant in real life. However on a site with millions of unique and 'anonymous' users no amount of grass root and downvote mobilizing will change the ignorant views or in some cases people are just trolling. The very fact that these people can create as many accounts as they want under different names, means any amount of policing is impossible.

I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you make the world a better place, however you're going to have a hard if not impossible time changing the views of reddit.

Edit: I am also done with this conversation we both have different opinions on that matter and I am ok with that. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have a great day. However I disagree with your view points.

It's a circlejerk dedicated to showing the more awful and upvoted side of reddit. The reason it's not an intellectual place for discussion of such things is that many of the users have tried discussing their views and end up basically being told to shut up. In any case SRS is a circlejerk to make fun of reddit as a whole and they have SRSDiscussion for talking and asking questions about the content of reddit. Most of the redditors that get mad do so because they got banned for not following the sidebar rules.

It's satire, often replacing the words "women" or any other minority with "white cisgender straight male." It highlights and parodies reddit's love of political incorrectness (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) and lack of awareness of their own priviledge, and for some reason people take it really seriously despite it being blatant parody.

The most ironic part is that critics of r/SRS claim the people of r/SRS can't take a joke, except they obviously aren't getting the joke. More hilariously, people who are featured in r/SRS commonly complain that r/SRS is bigoted, offensive, etc. and that r/SRS shouldn't generalize/insult/demean/they're just as bad, while totally missing the point - that everything said in r/SRS is just a mirror of stuff that gets massively upvoted in the rest of reddit.

They (critics, that is) also think it's full of feminists, while the userbase is 56% male.

r/SRSDiscussion is where they talk about real issues, sans the circlejerk humour.

I mean, I'm merely a casual observer who has no real affiliation with any one subreddit over the other. Maybe they really are fucking nuts. But the frequent inclusion of terms such as 'spermjacker' and 'gynocracy' does lead one to believe it's within the realm of satire over that of reality :p

The most ironic part is that critics of r/SRS claim the people of r/SRS can't take a joke

They can't. If you knew anything about SRS, you would know that a sizable portion of their posters come from places like: r/feminisms, r/anarchism, and r/transphobiaproject. Just because they don a sockpuppet, it doesn't mean they can suddenly take a joke, or recognize that their indignation doesn't magically make them right. I've previously written a handy guide to the stereotypes populating SRS and will include it here, verbatim:

The TRBO: upper-middle-class, college-aged, straight, white, male, with tons of guilt over growing up well-off. College-liberal (e.g. Students for a Democratic Society types) who compensate for a poor understanding of the real world with posturing and overconfidence. They just learned about racism/sexism/etc. in college, and now they're here to preach their simplistic world-view. Guys, they're totally grown-ups with grown-up thoughts and opinions!!! Just listen to them talk about the plight of disabled black lesbian transwomen. To them, everyone is an identity...nothing more, nothing less. They sometimes facepalm over the antics of their less-sane internet pals, but they don't speak up because...solidarity! These people generally come from somethingawful.

The SKB: Similar to the TRBO, only with greater variation in class/gender, and they've come to define themselves primarily by a fringe political ideology. They don't understand why normal people wouldn't take their undeniably true ideology seriously. Instead of engaging in some much-needed introspection, they avoid cognitive-dissonance by convincing themselves that everyone else isn't "normal" but a "bigot". These people generally came from r/anarchism and r/feminisms...attracted by the hostilities towards r/MR.

The TFS: They identify with some oppressed group (e.g. trans, gay, etc.), and are likely bipolar. They assume every criticism/etc. is motivated by bigotry towards whatever group with which they identify (e.g. anti-trans, anti-gay, etc.). These are probably the most fucked up SRS-posters and, oddly enough, the most deserving of sympathy. These people generally come from r/transphobiaproject and, to a lesser extent, r/anarchism.

The Amro: Actual normal person who assumes it's all a big joke, slightly higher than average intelligence. They may be black, white, gay, straight, whatever. The real bigotry they see online annoys them and they go to SRS to mock/parody it as a way of letting off steam. They assume everyone else is doing the same thing. When they see something they don't understand (like SRS flipping shit over something innocuous), they'll just assume everyone else knows more than them and that they're just missing something obvious. These people come from reddit-at-large...mostly the bigger subreddits like r/pics, r/wtf, etc.

The child: Younger (?-18) fairly normal person who is somewhat liberal and assumes these older people are role models for "normal" liberals. They'll emulate the outrage and posturing they see from the people above in the hopes of impressing someone/seeming more mature. They think they're in SRS to learn...they're actually having their worldview warped by idiots and ideologues. They come from all over...reddit-at-large, somethingawful, etc.

The pawn: Normal person of average to low intelligence, who heard about all this bigotry and pedophilia on Reddit and gosh darnit they're going to do something! They have the attention-span of a gnat, so most of their information comes from headlines and baseless assertions. If they were 30-40 years older, they would be standard FOX viewers, but they're in the 18-30 age-group so they're vaguely liberal (though to them "liberal" means "democrat"). They see these big claims and assume it's true because the internet told them and it confirms (if not exaggerates) the existing biases they've taken as their own as a democrat "liberal". These people also come from reddit-at-large.

Many of the more extreme personalities are likely sockpuppets of users you would recognize from before like DBzer0, Yellowmix, Skobrin, Queercoup, etc.

You're distorting what I say to imply that if I'm not in complete agreement with all feminists, then I must believe that equal rights for everyone is an insane idea. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. I'm completely in favor of equal rights, but I don't believe that the goal justifies the means (is this how it is said in English? I'm sorry it's not my native language).

And I also believe that many people under the banner of feminism try to justify unjustifiable actions by saying they act for equal rights while they are just pushing their personal agenda (somewhat like, although on a different scale, politicians try to censor the Internet under the guise of "protecting content creators from piracy" or "protecting children from pornography"), and have a completely manichean approach to feminism: either you're with them, or you're against them and the whole female gender. And, if you try to militate for equal rights but you're a male, you're just paternalistic.

But I know (well at least I hope) that not all feminists are like that.

Redditors' collective butthurt at being called out on their casual racism and misogyny, plus the bitter, bitter tears they shed when their social ineptitude leads them into the dreaded "friendzone", is like our ambrosia.

Our purpose is to point out that "BLACKS LIKE FRIED CHICKEN LOL" is unfunny, tired, and fucking obnoxious. Our purpose is also to point out that manchildren on reddit can't take their own fucking medicine. "BUT IT'S JUST A JOKE!", cries the neckbeard. Well, here, let's have ourselves a little experiment: Try making fun of nerdy white guys who waste their lives playing video games. Or pseudo-intellectual atheists. Suddenly, when the joke is directed at them, redditors no longer find things innocently "humorous". They devolve into a blubbering mess of nerd-rage, pointing fingers and shouting "misandry!!" or "reverse-racism!" at the top of their lungs, as though they, as predominately middle class white guys, somehow face the same level of prejudice in modern society as women, members of the LGBT community, or ethnic minorities.

I, personally, have no problem with humor. I don't even have a problem with off-color or dark humor, so long as it's actually funny. I do, however, have a problem with redditors being stupid, unfunny chucklefucks, who try to pass off naked bigotry and insults as "jokes". You know, like the OP.

I don't know why you care about the LGBT community so much since your mods supported the shitfest that was SilentAgony and Laurelai's "moderation". If anything, after seeing your "Archangelles" celebrate the LGBT reddit community being thrown under a bus that hard I'd say they are also the most homophobic people I've met.

/r/ShitRedditSays could do a better job of not making themselves out to be asshats, though. The principle is pure, but the means? Ehhh. I'm sure there are more serious subreddits out there that have the same goal.

You seem to misunderstand the "goal." The goal is to circlejerk, and (kinda) commiserate at the squandered medium of reddit.

It's not to change reddit. Not in the slightest. There have been a long history of subreddits that sought to identify problematic posts, and then shame, or engage, or discuss solutions.

But you haven't heard of them, precisely because once you try something so futile as to change reddit, and once you've 'debated' your hundredth shitposter who doesn't know and doesn't want to know what was wrong, you just get tired and it's not fun anymore and you leave and the subreddit becomes a ghost town.

The "goal" of SRS is not to change or instruct or win your "support." We're just circlejerking with awesome people.

I always thought that the "forever alone" meme was kind of a joke at the so called nerds expense, the average redditor is perfectly happy to make fun of him/herself, I have almost never come across this

redditors no longer find things innocently "humorous". They devolve into a blubbering mess of nerd-rage, pointing fingers and shouting "misandry!!" or "reverse-racism!" at the top of their lungs,

you say you have no problem with it unless it is actually funny. sorry to say that your standard of humour isn't the standard we all follow, you are perfectly in your rights to be offended but there has got to be something more than that for it to be unacceptable - your sensibilities are not enough.

so unless you can show some people who have actually have their lives adversely affected by reddit humour you are the one shouting racism at the top of your lungs as if the racism on reddit is as bad as what women, members of the LGBT community, or ethnic minorities actually receive in real life.

I'd be all for turning the insult table on white neckbeards fondling their dicks with cheeto-stained fingers in their mom's basement, but your subreddit falls victim to the same thing you are complaining about. The jokes/circlejerk just isn't funny, all it sounds like is you're getting butthurt and screaming "NO U"

Unfortunately, you are actually WHY the jokes get told, and why they hold some bit of humor. When you read one, you just know that somewhere there is someone just stewing in their own juices waiting to jump all over it. And that is fucking hilarious.

Good idea, shitty execution. It would be nice to see a subreddit that collects racist, or sexist(both sexes, if you're going to target sexism don't just do it for one side, that's bullshit.) things that are meant to be offensive, and not as a joke(Ex. Fuck Niggers, or all women are worthless and are only meant to serve.) SRS is not a social experiment, and if it is, it is a hypocritical one. As far as I am concerned it is a downvote brigade for the things that people find the least bit offensive, and frankly is stupid. Seriously, social ineptitude sucks. Racial bullying, or sexist bulling can be written off as the mark of an idiot, but social ineptitude is fair game apparently. Stand against all discrimination, or none.

Except they do. They only collect racist/sexist things that are heavily upvoted and have overwhelming support on Reddit. The reason why racist/sexist remarks towards white people or guys might be less common on SRS is because Reddit already downvotes them. The reason for that of course, is because the majority of people on this site is all for free speech and dark "humor" until it is directed at them.

well, helldump sort of originated the style, but the "holy shit reddit is terrible" discussion happened on LF, which was the irreverent subforum for political junkies to decompress. The thread in question was started to highlight the phenomenally awful things said on far-right forum/newsgroup Free Republic and eventually people noticed that comments on reddit were pretty hard to differentiate sometimes from free republic or stormfront sometimes. The threads split and there became a separate thread for "horrible shit said on reddit", and then some members migrated over and were some of the first people involved in the rebirth of SRS.

That's the abridged version of the series of events that may be able to be called the "history" of srs but no one will pay attention to them because that fiction about like metatrolls is way more fun and popular

Ah, I didn't even think of LF when I posted that. I frequent that as well, I just saw the connection between Helldump and SRS because they both mock stuff on their own site. You're right though, LF has the better and original connection.

This is hilariously untrue. I read the reddit thread on somethingawful from time to time and it's basically the same thing as SRS except occasionally people will start little debate derails when someone comes in and goes "but rape jokes are ok because they're jokes!" There is a lot of crossover between the two but it is in no way an elaborate troll. You're dumb

You do keep claiming that, yet whenever SRS catches wind of a thread all replies disagreeing with their views are mysteriously downvoted while all the comments from SRSers receive multiple upvotes. Must be aliens, man.

I think if I made a subreddit, I'd just randomly ban people too. Would be fun, might make me feel powerful and special.

Actually, the notice I got from ArchangelleGaberielle said "Banned from #1 Misandreysoncooper. I actually had no idea what that was even talking about until I clicked the link. A reference I don't get, I guess.

The main problem is that there's never any counterbalancing to the "funny" women-bashing jokes. When does the fucking girl ever win? I don't mind a stupid sexist joke from time to time, but it gets old fast when there's only kitchen jokes and never any give-and-take.

The last time I ventured into SRS, it was a small band of butthurt neckbeards white-knighting around any female Redditor who happened to mention her sex online.

Now, though, it seems to have been overrun by overzealous feminists who take offense at any mention of the female sex. Never thought I'd say I actually miss the white knights, but, there you have it; at least their's was only a thinly-veiled attempt at getting attention from a grateful female user.

Now, they've gone as far as calling themselves SRSisters. Wow.

EDIT: Yes, SRSisters, let the butthurt flow through you. Keep proving that you're not above being a downvote brigade!

At least you got responses. I get excited when I have 4 notifications for anything... although that rarely happens. Usually just get 1 response out of my 300 friends. Usually that 1 response is the same guy. :|

Be sad if you do get notifications, because that means you didn't see any of those people in real life on your b-day and they were only willing to wish you one via a cold and impersonal text message over the internet.

Same here now.
Usually my notifications are from pokes or someone posting in some group I'm in. I think the main reason there were so many comments was because the status was public and it had quite a few shares.

Alright, before this starts an argument or debate, let's lay this out there. Both orient and orientate are words. Orientate is more common in the UK, and many there feel Orient sounds strange or dumb. Here in the U.S. it is, for the most part, the opposite. So before jumping on the Grammar Nazi horse and bringing down your sword of grammatical punishment, realize that Orientate is perfectly acceptable usage, although it may sound strange to some of us (myself included). It's not even a question of non-standard English, as is the case for words such as "irregardless","conversate", or "ain't". It is absolutely and most definitely a legitimate word. A legitimate word that I hate, but that's notwithstanding.
